If you live in Florida or one of the States that are in the path of a tropical storm, you will receive warnings of a disaster that is about to come. This may cause fear or anxiety.
But God tells us in this beautiful verse that He loves us and wants us to have peace. So, if you feel stressed today, take comfort from God’s word.
Make preparations to withstand the storm but trust God to bring you through whatever storm you have in your life.
Thank you for your prayers. Pastor Albert had a church in Ukraine before the war broke out. He came here to Bremen, Germany and is now Pastor here. He has a very strong evangelical outreach program and is very excited to have these SOS Events display boards.
Please continue to pray that many people will be saved in Germany through this church. Only about 4% of the people in Germany even go to church. That includes all denominations.
Ephesians 3:20-21 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Matthew 5 is about being distinct in character. How a Christian is to be clearly different from this world, noticeably different in a good way. This particular teaching was coming from the mouth of Jesus Himself.
He not only said how we are to be distinct, but when we are, we are blessed with a true happiness & peace that only God gives.
Plus He tells what we would obtain for being distinct. We are called to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Christ urges us to be a good example.
I challenge you to read Matthew chapter 5 and be determined to be distinct in this world and watch for your blessings.
Matthew 5:13-16 (KJV) Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
“No prayer is too small for God.”
What a statement. We go to God with the big things in our lives. Illness, family disagreements, loss of job or worse. Death of a loved one. Any huge problem we run to Him.
What about the small things? A parking place, lost keys, color of an item we want to buy, anything that happens in our daily routine. Does God care about that? YES.
If God knows us so well that even the hair on our head is numbered, don’t you think he cares about all the little things? God loves us so much that he cares and listens to the smallest things in our life.
Like a small child trusts Mom or Dad to fix anything. A broken toy, an injured finger, hurt feelings. We listen and do everything to help our child because we care.
We are God’s children and He cares for every area of our life. Even the small things.
Have you ever been on a trip, in a hospital or just visiting but you are longing for home?
There is an old saying “Home is where the heart is”. How true. We can be in any place and still feel at home if we are surrounded by people we love.
As Christians we should be long for HOME. Our heavenly home where we shall see Jesus and be reunited with family and friends who have gone one before us. However, while we are still traveling this earth we do have our loved One Jesus, who is with us 24/7 no matter where we are.
So, today, wherever you are you can feel at home with your Comforter and Friend Jesus but looking forward to the day when we will reach our Heavenly home.
Many of us travel especially in the summer. Vacations, Family Reunions, Weddings maybe even Work.
Someone who goes wherever you go is God. If you know Jesus as your Savior, He is with you wherever you go. That is a great blessing.
It is also a challenge. If you are tempted do do something you know is wrong because no one is there. Remember, God is with you and He sees everything that you do.
So enjoy your travels. Be thankful for the assurance that you are in the safety of God’s presence.
God once again blessed the SOS Events Team, in Florida on 4th of July.
There were 10 decisions to accept Jesus as Savior.
A special Thank You to the SOS volunteers who give their time on a Holiday to Serve Our Savior. They go to events even when it is extremely hot and uncomfortable.
They go not for rewards but for their love for Jesus and a desire to see others know Him as Savior too.
And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Mark 16:15
While the storm clouds gather far across the sea
Let us swear allegiance to a land that’s free
Let us all be grateful that we are far from there
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer
[Verse]
God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with a light from above
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America, my home sweet home
God bless America, my home sweet home
Sunday is a wonderful day to Praise the Lord!
It is not the only day we should worship. Everyday of the week we should be reading our Bible, praying and praising God for all He has done for us.
